Chris, Alex, Gentlemen:

Thank you for your generosity. Let me learn a little bit more and it will give me the confidence to ask stupid questions. :) Anyone in here would like to engage in a conference call type group study / chat, please let me know. I have a VoIP server to which all of us could connect to easily.

Thank you!
Reza.

Customizing email notifications as in #3 is done through the templates. As root, or a super user, go to Admin > Templates > Select. There you'll find a table with all the templates the system uses. Admin > Scripts is where you can see which templates go to which events. The wiki (rt-wiki.bestpractical.com <http://rt-wiki.bestpractical.com>) has a couple helpful pages on templates, such as

You grant users the right to transfer, own, take, and steal tickets. RT likes you to use groups rather than granting rights on a user-by-user basis. For instance, our system has five queues, and each queue has a queue_staff and queue_users group. In the staff group for each queue, we grant the rights I mentioned. This way, simply adding a user to the staff group in their queue is enough to give them all the rights they need.

As you may have found, rights are integral to not just what users can do with tickets, but to which tickets and queues they can view at all. Getting to know the rights system will help a lot.

    Hi Reza

    Welcome to RT. We're a fairly new user of the product so have
    recent experience of your learning curve!

    We have a bit of a workaround in place for "2. Suppress "RT System
    Itself...)" lines in the History. We simply hide the entries with
    custom css. In Admin > Tools > Theme > Custom CSS (Advanced),
    we've added:

    div.transaction.Ticket-transaction.other {
        display: none;
    }

    This hides all those RT System messages while leaving things like
    actual message content/comments alone.

    As far as "4. Assigning tickets..." goes, have you set any of your
    users as "Privileged"? As far as I remember if you are logged in
    as a privileged user you should be able to assign tickets to other
    privileged users.

    Regards
    Chris

        Greetings Folks:

        I successfully installed RT on a virtual machine and it has been a
        non-stop learning marathon for 12+ hrs non stop.  If you are
        as new as
        me in RT, please reply to my message, and perhaps we can have a
        conference call (at my expense) to do some sort of study group
        session,
        so we can share knowledge.

        Its easiest to learn when there are friendly tutors.  FYI, I have
        acquired the following knowledge the very hard way.
        1.  Setup / Installation.  (The hardest part)
        2.  Creating Users
        3.  Creating Groups
        4.  Understanding Permissons
        5.  Enabling watchers
        6.  Configuring Fetch Mail with SSL option to a gmail account
        (for testing)
        7.  Configuring Sendmail / Exim and smart host
        8.  Purging / Shredding tickets


        What I would like to learn is:
        1.  Create Random Ticket numbers.
        2.  Suppress "RT System Itself - Outgoing email recorded"
        3.  Customization of Auto ticket reply.
        4.  Assigning tickets / transferring to someone else (when not
        logged in
        as root)
        5.  3rd Party CRM integration basics.

        Thanks in advance to all the folks here, specially the
        creators of RT.

        Best,
        Reza.
